FRISCO — Crowdfunding isn’t just for journalism and tech start-ups anymore. These days, entire communities have joined in the action, with towns seeking direct support for projects, like in Liverpool, England, where a new playground was funded after a project was successfully funded on Spacehive, a platform for community projects.

At the site, you’ll see that it looks like we are still $1,140 away from our target, but since Beacon is generously matching every pledge, we need to raise just $570 through our own grassroots network to meet our goal and get funded. If you could pass the URL of this post along to five friends via email, we’ll get there for sure!

We are going to do some world-class journalism in the Rocky Mountains, with in-depth stories, short videos and, of course, great photography, visiting with scientists who are in the field to report on their observations and findings, and we’ll find out how communities in the high country of the West are coping or preparing with rising temperatures.

One of the coolest part of the project is that Dylan, my 16-year-old, is going to be involved in the project, helping to produce videos and sharing our stories with his generation. This is critical, because he and his peers will have to live in the greenhouse gas-warmed world that we’re creating right now.

We will take you along on the journey via social media and we’re capping the trek with dinner event and presentation at the Sunshine Cafe in Dillon — and right now, if you make a pledge of $100 or more, you and a guest will automatically be invited to that dinner. We’re also giving away fabulous high quality fine art prints from the trip or from our Summit Voice online gallery.

TURNBERRY, Scotland (AP) — As Inbee Park hunted down Jin-Young Ko in the final stretch of the Women's British Open, it quickly became clear which South Korean was the rookie and which was the player about to add another chapter in golf's record book.

The issue of drivers' fitness to get behind the wheel with potentially dangerous medical conditions surfaces intermittently. Usually, it happens in the wake of a tragedy that calls into question the means of navigating the fine line between privilege and responsibility. In Colorado, that responsibility rests largely with the individual.
